GWITHIAN CHAPEL LIMITED

Gwithian Chapel Ltd owns and maintains Gwithian Chapel as a community asset, ensuring it remains open and useful to our community, and saving it from private development . This unique II* listed building, open to the public since 1810, is Cornwall's last thatched Methodist chapel. Ambitious renovation in 2021 created a multi-use, multi-denominational community space - www.thechapelproject.co.uk
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently
    • and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
